SA-5770 on the 'bay. Looks a little rough, but I never see them. Would love to own one someday. Really wants local Pick up (150 shipping?)

I'm in Pittsburgh and have heard nothing but bad things about Atlas Electronics.

Hmmmm....over 12 thousand items sold by them and 99.8% score so not too shabby.

ebay feedback is pretty much worthless these days. Even if it's 100%.

Why do you say that?

I gave a 5770 away.

Of course, i didn't realize it was a giveaway at the time. Chalk it up to a lesson in audio trading.

First, how hard is it to take some decent-quality photos? And then he uses his hand for scale in the pic of the transformer. Thanks.

And this:

"I REALLY DON'T WANT TO LIFT THIS BABY TO PACK IT. HUGE IT IS..."

You poor thing.

SA-57x0 is on my list of dream stereo items, but nah. Pass. His ad just doesn't make me want it.

I couldn't disagree more. I checked his feedback. 211 items sold in one month. 2 negatives. Most seem to like his service. I would have no problem buying from this seller.

Feedback happens within a month or two of sale. If he (for example) fixed bad caps with cap pulls from other 30 year old amps instead of buying new ones, you might not know that for a few months. By then it is too late.

I had an SA-5070 that I liked a lot. I'm sure I'd enjoy this model, too!
